复合似然推断的模型设定检验AI 解读

Summary Composite likelihood functions are often used for inference in applications where the data have a complex structure. While inference based on the composite likelihood can be more robust than inference based on the full likelihood, the inference is not valid if the associated conditional or marginal models are misspecified. In this paper, we propose a general class of specification tests for composite likelihood inference. The test statistics are motivated by the fact…

边界约束下的条件复合似然比检验AI 解读

Composite likelihood has been widely used in applications. The asymptotic distribution of the composite likelihood ratio statistic at the boundary of the parameter space is a complicated mixture of weighted |$\chi^2$| distributions. In this paper we propose a conditional test with data-dependent degrees of freedom. We consider a modification of the composite likelihood which satisfies the second-order Bartlett identity. We show that the modified composite likelihood ratio…
